TORONTO, Sept. 8, 2015 /CNW/ - Starbucks today launched one of its biggest fall lineups in its Canadian history, featuring more than a dozen new offerings including the return of the iconic – and now more pumpkin-y – Starbucks® Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL™/mc); the availability of new Starbucks® Single Origin Sumatra Coconut Beverage; and a brand new selection of premium lunch and pastry offerings giving Canadians more delicious reasons to enjoy food at Starbucks.

"We're continuously looking at ways to exceed the expectations of our customers and partners, which is why we're excited to be launching one of our biggest fall seasons ever in Canada," says Richard Burjaw, vice-president Marketing, Starbucks Canada. "Whether it's enhancing our best-selling limited time customer favourite, the PSL™/mc, introducing new sandwiches made with premium ingredients, offering grab-and-go options that can be enjoyed any time of day or giving customers a new way to customize their favourite Starbucks® beverages, there has never been a better time to visit Starbucks."

Big News for the Beloved PSL™/mcBack for its 12th season, Pumpkin Spice Latte returns this year with that great taste customers know and love, this time made with real pumpkin and without caramel colouring. PSL™/mc is still the perfectly handcrafted signature espresso beverage made with steamed milk, rich and creamy pumpkin sauce, and warm seasonal spices such as cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and clove, finished with a dollop of whipped cream and Starbucks® pumpkin spice topping. PSL™/mc is customizable to meet customers' unique taste preferences and is available hot, iced or as a Frappuccino® blended beverage.

Lunch gets a premium boost at Starbucks this fall"Since the launch of La Boulangetm/mc food in Canada this year, food sales have grown more than 17 per cent," says Kevin Reid, director marketing, Starbucks Canada. "We continue to make exciting changes to our food menu and respond to customer feedback for new pastry and more savoury options."

More ways to customize with Coconut BeverageStarting today, Canadians can enjoy Starbucks® Single Origin Sumatra Coconut Beverage as a new customization option for an additional $0.70CAD, available in participating Canadian company-operated and licensed store locations. Starbucks® Single Origin Sumatra Coconut Beverage is certified vegan and made with single-origin coconuts from the tropical Indonesian island of Sumatra. With the addition of coconut beverage, customers have numerous options including soy beverage, 2%, skim, whole milk, half-and-half and in some areas reduced-lactose milk.
